The Burroughs Plymouth Michigan plant, built in 1938, shown below is still in use today. The
landmark "Burroughs" Smoke Stack on the right of the picture was
ordered demolished some number of years ago, because it had Burroughs written on
it. A sad loss for many, but bricks were saved by many to help ease the loss.
